Some lehighvalleylive.com readers, like amazedbyu2 and psudesiboy, failed to understand the commotion. psudesiboy explained:

"we didnt hire him to look good - as long as he can coach like Bill B, i wont complain!"

This sentiment wasn't echoed by iamizzie who expected a lot more from the new man in charge of the Penn State football program. iamizzie wrote:

When he coaches he is at work and should be dressed in a way that is
respectful of his head coaching position. Looking like some dad
coaching a pee-wee team isn't befitting of a Big 10 coach. Frankly, the
NCAA should have a dress code. Again, classy."

Does it matter to you what Bill O'Brien wears on the sidelines? Should he be dressed in a way that is "respectful of his head coaching position?"

Or should we not care about appearances and focus more on his coaching successes?
